Honda Civic (2012 - 2017)
Civic SR 5dr hatch
Good car, in spite of annoying satnav and control panel
Perfectly good car; you get used to the 'split' rear screen (now changed for new version). Magic seats in back (now dropped, unaccountably, from new version!) are excellent - so much extra space on the occasions when needed, and so easy to use. Most annoying is the Garmin-based satnav, which is extremely user-unfriendly. Also the whole electronic controls set up - you have to take your eyes from the road for many everyday issues such as changing from (eg) satnav to another function, or to change heating style or temperature. Audio and some controls are on steering wheel. No spare wheel, just the r****** can. Cost me a £30 taxi for my wife and a loss of several hours when a very helpful AA man accompanied me on his spacesaver spare to a garage in nearby town (my destination) for a new tyre.
Very reliable, reasonably economical - good eco mode, which certainly helps you keep your driving to the 'green' markers, ie the most economical. Excellent boot space. Dealer's (transferable) 5-year service was good investment.
